Chapter 171 Gongsun Zong's Concern
Water Pass, also known as Hulao Pass.
It is the gateway and an important pass in the east of Luoyang. It is named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are intertwined. It is naturally dangerous. It has the momentum of "one man is the gate, and thousands of people can't open up", which is a must-have place for soldiers of all generations.
Gongsun Zan covered up all the way. Three thousand white horses were ruthless. Jin Ge was an iron horse, and Gongsun Zan took the lead. Long guns were all over the yellow scarf garrison, and the blood flowed into a river. No one could resist Gongsun Zan's sharp front.
Three thousand white horses have only lost a few horses and have come to the front of the water gate. Gongsun Zan is even more bold and took the momentum of water in one fell swoop. From the coalition camp to the water gate, those yellow scarf troops could not resist his front at all and collapsed at a touch.
At the beginning, Gongsun Zan felt very uneasy. He was afraid of being raped by the yellow scarf. Because they were too smooth on the way, they limited the speed of Gongsun Zan's march. However, in order to ensure safety, Gongsun Zan ordered a surrender, all of whom were ruthlessly killed and bleeding.
At this time, outside the water gate, Gongsun Zan had already set up a position, and three thousand white horses behind him were waiting.
In fact, the cavalry siege is the most unrealistic. On the land of the Central Plains, the preciousness of cavalry can be imagined, but Gongsun Zan has no choice but to do it for his own purpose. These 3,000 white horses have never been his soldiers. On the battlefield, they live and die together!
Gongsun Zan will not really attack the city with the cavalry. He wants to kill the spirit of the Yellow Turban Army, induce the Yellow Turban Army to leave the city, and the cavalry cover it. If the Yellow Turban Army refuses to leave the city, Gongsun Zan has to send a thousand-step soldiers given by Liu Yan to attack the city, and then find another way.
He is just a pioneer, not the real main force. His losses here are almost incalculable. It can be regarded as a great victory, and his purpose has also been achieved. However, the victory here has made his ambition expand. If he can take the water barrier in one fell swoop, then his Gongsun Zan can definitely become famous and famous all over the world.
The water is closed and silent.
Only the flag blown by the wind, I don't know whether it is the peace before the blood or the horror of the black clouds crushing the city. Outside the customs, thousands of allied soldiers looked up and closed, with banners flying and splashing dust everywhere.
Gongsun Zan squinted at Shuiguan, and his face was uncertain.
"Master, something is wrong!"
At this time, a general behind Gongsun Zan drove his horse to him and said solemnly.
Gongsun Zan turned his head and looked at Guan Jing, his confidant, so he nodded.
"Shiqi, can you see it too?"
Guan Jing nodded. For some reason, he felt that there had always been something wrong. The Yellow Turban Army could destroy the Han Dynasty in such a short time, but why did they defeat the army? Even if Baima Yi is the elite of a hundred battles, he will not be confident that Bai Ma Yi will be invincible. He has destroyed so many yellow scarf troops and only lost a few horses. This is even more unrealistic, but it did happen.
"Lord, we have fought for so many years, and it hasn't been so simple once, has it?"
Gongsun Zant nodded. How could he not know that as the leader of the army, he thought much more.
The behavior of the Yellow Turban Army is really strange, which makes him feel guilty. He is not afraid of life and death. On the battlefield, you live and die, relying on elite soldiers and sharp swords, but everyone will be afraid of unknown things.
In the face of the vulnerable Yellow Turban Army and this strange and strong city gate, he was really not sure and couldn't help asking.
"Yes, we have fought for so long. Who have we been afraid of on the grassland, but this is the Central Plains, not the barbarians with developed limbs on the grassland, the land of the Central Plains, Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons, what do you think of how to fight this battle?"
Guan Jing frowned. What could he think, but he still said about the uneasiness in his heart.
"Lord, the last general thinks that we should postpone the siege of the city. When the main force of the company arrives, after all, our army is all cavalry. The white horse is always our brother, the elite soldier, and we can't waste it on the siege."
Gongsun Zan's hand holding the sword tightened his hand. He was unwilling. If he wants to rise in troubled times, he must have talents to vote, so that he can gain a foothold on development. However, if he wants others to vote, he must have a reputation. Otherwise, no one knows you. Even if he meets a talented general, he has never heard of you. How can he be heart? He is willing to turn to you. The reason why he joined the coalition is that it is an opportunity.
seemed to see Gongsun Zan's unwillingness, Guan Jing said again.
"Lord, the last general thinks that our purpose has been achieved!"
Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
It seemed that there was a play, and Guan Jing continued to say.
"Lord, don't you think, didn't Mr. Tian Kai say that we must make contributions on this trip? Take a vanguard general and establish some achievements, but we can't be too eye-catching and rob the credit of the princes."
Gongsun Zan trembled all over, and he seemed to be carried away. His strength was too weak. If he took the Tiger Prison in one fell swoop, it would certainly be very happy for the coalition, but they would certainly be unhappy about where the princes were, or guard against themselves and others.
"Shiqi, go on."
"No! Lord, think about it, we fought all the way and killed so many yellow scarf soldiers, but the losses of the troops were very light. With such great achievements, the coalition will not be erased or erased. Those princes will definitely give us benefits.
This aspect is good, but on the other hand, it is also a disaster. At the beginning, Mr. Tian Kai said that the so-called coalition forces are just a group of tigers and wolves. What is different from yellow scarves? All they care about is what they can get. I think the general has deeply understood it.
So even if we can take down the Tiger Pass, we can't take it, because this bone belongs to the princes no matter how much meat or less meat it is. Let's just drink some soup. Although we don't think it's the hero of the lord, this is the difference between strength and weakness. But one day when the lord is strong, these princes don't need to pay attention to it, but now Yes, we can't turn against the princes yet.
Gongsun Zan's face turned black with anger, but it wasn't long before he smiled and patted the armor on Guan Jing's shoulder.
"Shiqi, I didn't expect you to think a lot!"
Guan Jing immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Lord, Mr. Tian learned all the tricks of the last general. Mr. Tian is really a great talent."
Gongsun Zan couldn't help thinking of Tian Kai, a scribe who was far away in Youzhou. It seems that he is really not an ordinary person.
"You don't have to underestimate yourself. I know your talent."
"The Lord praised it, and the last general is ashamed."
Gongsun Zun smiled and said nothing. Looking at the hard city tiger prison, he suddenly ordered.
"The whole army retreated five miles to camp and wait for reinforcements!"
Guan Jing is on the sidelines.
"Master's clever plan!"
"What a wonderful plan, Shiqi, pass the order, just say that the Yellow Turban Army has a conspiracy and trick, but it has been seen through by the general. There is no fear. Tonight, patrol the camp carefully and beware of the sneak attack of the yellow scarf. Don't take it lightly."
"No!"
As Guan Jing left, Gongsun Zang sneered at the tiger prison and left.
No one saw the tiger shutting their heads and hiding on the wall peeping secretly. After Gongsun Zang left, the two seemed to be relieved and wiped the sweat on their foreheads.
"Oh, what a false alarm. Lord Wang only left a hundred soldiers and asked us to resist the vanguard army of the coalition, which scared me to death."
The other person still seems to have lingering palpitations and keeps gasping.
"Fortunately, everything is according to Lord Wang's thought. The general really dares not march into the city, otherwise, I will explain more than 100 catties of meat."
"Yes, Lord Wang is really clever. I'm afraid he won't give up more than the original military division."
"What, who is the military division? Lord Wang is very powerful, but there is still a certain gap compared with the military division. You still keep your mouth shut. If others hear it, they will definitely beat you. The military division is taboo. You don't know!"
The man immediately shut up, as if he remembered something and looked flattered.
"Big brother said, Brother Xie."
"Well, don't talk nonsense. The scarecrow has been tied up, and we should run for our lives. We will definitely get a heavy reward this time. Go and inform the brothers that we are ready to withdraw and leave them an empty city to make them angry."
With that, the two left the city with a gloomy smile.
